That was weird. I just tried to return an item to Amazon.


The ear pads on my wife's headphones have worn out and I ordered a replacement set of pads. When I got them, I found that the way these headphones are made it is impossible to replace the ear pads without destroying the plastic retaining ring. Bad design. Guess I'll be ordering some new headphones today.

So I started a return with Amazon. The Ama-bot said sorry about your problem, we've credited your account, and There's No Need To Return The Item To Us. I had to read it twice. Apparently it's better for them to just give me the (now) useless product than to pay the return shipping cost.

So lounge, anyone have a similar experience with Amazon?
